After his three brothers' departure, Lennox was still a little under the weather, wondering if they would be fine on their own. The years they stayed under his care were short, but it was enough for Lennox to grow fond of them. He had taken on the role of a guardian, ensuring their well-being and guiding them for the past few years.
As they embarked on their journeys in life, Lennox couldn't help but feel a mix of pride and concern, hoping his brothers would remember the lessons he had imparted and thrive independently.
"I feel like an old man, Addie," Lennox muttered as he rested his head on Adrienne's legs as he lay in their bed. "I'm just in my early thirties, but I feel like watching my children grow up and leave the nest."
